I'm confused by archiving.
I had wanted to gain some room, export some folders, creating a copy on my hard drive.
I archived first, figuring it wouldn't hurt.
Two questions:
Now, if I try to export the folders, it does nothing (creates a small file, but I'm sure no messages are in there). This is true even if I "click here to view more on Microsoft Exchange", then try to export. So it is no longer possible to create an exported file?
And two: the number of items in these folders (after clicking here to view more...") seems significantly smaller than I expected.
The original settings I tried were:
* Archive this folder ("2010") using these settings:
** Clean out items older than 3 months
** Move old items to BACKUP2010.PST (This file got created, but is only 265 kb)
But then I changed to "use default archiving values", and didn't notice that "delete expired items" was set.
When I googled the definition of expired files, I read the default for messages was six months. Have I lost files permamenly?
